I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 4 Pregnancy in a Dream

"Mother!"

Ying Lou quickly stood up to greet him.

The concubine in front of me, Concubine Yan with a golden hairpin, is a charming and beautiful woman with a lingering charm, although she is the Queen Mother of Qin.

But everyone in the entire Qin Dynasty knew that the relationship between this mother and son was not harmonious.

There were even rumors among the people that the Queen Mother had already planned to re-establish a new king.

It’s just that among the current bloodline of the Ying family, no one can shoulder the same national destiny as Ying Lou.

Plus there isn't a good excuse.

That's why I haven't taken any action yet.

"Lou'er, can't I come into this Lanshu Building?"

The empress dowager's beautiful lips, painted with lip balm, looked extremely charming with a slight raise.

"Louer doesn't dare!"

Ying Lou knew that he couldn't break off relations with the Queen Mother before eating the cicada meat.

"The night is cold, and Lou'er is not feeling well. Why don't you rest early and come to Lanshulou to read this Nanhuang volume?"

Zhao Ji glanced at the books on the table and frowned slightly.

"The soldiers of our Great Qin are fighting on the front lines to fulfill the ambition of our ancestors to unify the world. Lou'er's body is not suitable for going to the battlefield, so he can only read more books to prepare for the future."

Although Ying Lou's excuse sounds reasonable at first glance.

But what kind of person is Zhao Ji?

She knew very well that the seven countries in the Central Plains had not yet been unified, and the Southern Wilderness, which was 100,000 miles away, was not a target that should be considered at all.

There must be other reasons behind Ying Lou's unusual behavior.

However, Zhao Ji did not intend to expose the truth at this time. After all, although the King of Qin was weak, there were still old forces loyal to him in the court.

"Lou'er, there is no need to waste your broken body to fulfill the wishes of the previous kings!"

Zhao Ji used the word "broken" to describe the King of Qin, and her slightly provocative attitude made Ying Lou feel uneasy.

Could it be that his showing of weakness over the years has already prompted Zhao Ji to start trying to seize power?

"Don't worry, mother. Since I am the King of Qin, I must put the country first!"

Looking at Ying Lou’s expression.

Zhao Ji just smiled slightly, then moved to Ying Lou and took him into her arms.

This move caught Ying Lou off guard.

As far as he could remember, this seemed to be the first time Zhao Ji had done such a thing.

However, I didn’t have time to feel this sudden “motherly love”!
Zhao Ji's next words were like a sharp sword that pierced the face of the Qin royal family.

"Haha, Lou'er, you don't have to work so hard anymore!"

"Because I'm pregnant with the late king's child!"

The giggles echoed in the library.

Although since the death of the previous king, the fact that the empress dowager, who is in her prime, has kept a lover has long been no secret in the harem.

But she announced publicly that she was pregnant, and that she was the bloodline of a dead person.

Even if we look at the history of the seven Central Plains countries, this absurd thing has never happened before.

"Mother, do you know what you are talking about?"

At this moment, Ying Lou's face was as cold as iron.

An uncontrollable surge of energy and blood surged from the chest.

"Lou'er, you may have a younger brother, aren't you happy?"

"After he is born, if he inherits the fate of the Qin Empire, you can rest now, Lou'er, and you don't have to work yourself to death for state affairs!"

Zhao Ji said with a smile while touching her belly.

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

The book keeper who had assisted four generations of Qin kings suddenly roared.

"absurd?"

Zhao Ji's eyebrows were raised and her eyes were wide open with anger.

"I burned incense and chanted scriptures day and night, which moved the Heaven, and in return I was able to have a tryst with the late king in my dream!"

"The late king once told me in a dream that he was very angry! The current king of the Great Qin was so weak that he could not even tie a chicken. He looked like he was going to die at such a young age!"

"The descendants of the Ying family are few in number, so the late king made love with me in my dream for the sake of the fate of this country."

"After one night, I became pregnant. I have the blood of the late king!"

Zhao Ji waved her arm and said to Ying Lou with contempt.

And his eyes were full of arrogance.

"Nonsense, just nonsense!"

"No one other than the descendants of the Ying family can inherit the country's destiny. When the dragon vein collapses, the Qin state's thousand-year foundation will be completely destroyed!"

The book keeper stamped his feet in anger.

Such a huge joke actually came from the mouth of the Queen Mother of Qin.

"Hmph! You old stubborn old man from the previous dynasty. I will not care about your disrespect because I remember that you once fought for the Qin State!" "You slandered the Queen Mother of the Great Qin State. If you do that again, I will chop you to pieces!"

Zhao Ji did not give this centenarian minister any face at all.

"Even if I die, I can't let this absurd thing happen."

Just when the book keeper was about to fight to the death.

Ying Lou suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to stop the book keeper.

"Lou'er would like to congratulate mother. It would be great if my younger brother could inherit the country's fortune!"

Ying Lou suppressed his anger and put on a "sincere" smile.

"My Lou is still sensible!"

Zhao Ji smiled proudly. It seemed that she had won this battle between mother and son.

"It's getting late, please go back to the palace as soon as possible, I need to rest after reading a few more books!"

Ying Lou resisted the urge, as he was determined not to let the plans he had made over the years be destroyed in an instant.

"Haha, our King Qin is really sensible!"

Sudden.

A masculine voice came from the back of the crowd.

"Young Master Qi!"

Ying Lou narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Ying Qi is Ying Lou’s uncle and the late king’s younger brother.

According to legend, if Ying Qi had not done something scandalous that shocked the court and the public.

Otherwise, it is hard to say who will take the throne of the previous King of Qin.

"Qi, didn't I tell you not to come out?"

When Zhao Ji saw Ying Qi appear, her expression was slightly dissatisfied.

Although the rumors about the two's affair had probably already spread in the palace.

But it hasn't been confirmed yet.

"Queen Mother, since you are here, how can you not meet the King? Isn't that right?"

Ying Qi bowed and saluted towards Ying Lou.

But anyone can see that this is a naked demonstration.

The Queen Mother has just announced that she is pregnant.

Ying Qi appeared beside the Queen Mother in the middle of the night, which made it clear to the world that the child in the Queen Mother of Qin's belly was his, Ying Qi's, son.

"I'm tired, help me back to the palace!"

Zhao Ji raised her right hand and motioned Ying Qi to come over and support her.

"Queen Mother, the Qin State has been at war for the past few years. I don't think Lou'er will live for many more days. Why not take this opportunity to appoint a new king?"

Ying Qi stroked his beard, stared at Ying Lou and suddenly spoke.

Establish a new king?

When these words were spoken, not only Zhao Ji but also the royal guards around her trembled slightly.

Although the Qin King's frailty was known to the whole country.

But no one thought of it.

Ying Qi actually dared to say this in front of the current King of Qin.

"Ying Qi, you."

Zhao Ji originally wanted to say that Ying Qi’s words were a bit too early.

But he stopped halfway through.

Anyway, I am pregnant now, and the new king will be re-established sooner or later, so it is better to test Ying Lou's reaction first.

"A new king? Are you referring to the child in the queen's belly?"

Ying Lou's weight, which is equivalent to that of a woman, is far less than that of the strong Ying Qi.

When the two of them stood together, one felt like he was being bullied.

"Haha, of course not!"

"This new king refers to me!"

Force the emperor to abdicate!

This is the first time in the thousand years since the establishment of the Qin State.

"Of course, I am only acting as the state affairs temporarily. When the Queen Mother and the late King's child hold their coming-of-age ceremony, I will give up the throne to him!"

Ying Qi changed the subject and continued calmly.

Hu~hu~hu~
The wind is raging.

At this time, the Lanshu Building was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was waiting to see how the young King of Qin would respond.
